Visitation

What is it like visiting an inmate with a long sentence?

If a inmate is doing a very long prison term talking lots of years. How is there visiting go??

If they are in a high or maximum security prison, the visitation might have to be through a Plexiglas divider where you communicate through a telephone receiver
